Method

1. Gently heat the oil in a saucepan. Cook the onion until it has softened but do not let it brown.

2. Stir in the rice and continue to cook until the grains have become translucent and glossy. Add the wine and let the rice guzzle it up.

3. Turn the heat down. Set the timer for 20 minutes and start feeding in the stock, little by little, letting the rise absorb it until you add more. Add the broad beans halfway through cooking.

4. Scatter in the rosemary with the last ladle of liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Take the pan off the heat, cover and leave of stand. Serve hot on warmed plates and sprinkle with the last of the thyme and shavings of Parmesan.
